“A turban? In Zurich?” whispered a confused tourist to his companion. They stood before a captivating fountain, its centerpiece a bronze girl with a flowing turban. This, my friends, is the “Sitzendes Mädchen mit Turban”, or “Seated Girl with Turban.” While Zurich might be known for its chocolate and banks, this fountain reminds us of the city’s appreciation for art and diversity. The girl, sculpted by Estrid Christensen, sits gracefully, her expression serene as water cascades from the fountain. This isn’t just any water, mind you, it’s fresh spring water, a testament to Zurich’s dedication to providing clean drinking sources throughout the city. Take a moment, feel the coolness of the water, and appreciate this hidden gem. The “Sitzendes Mädchen mit Turban” is a quiet reminder of the beauty found in unexpected places.
